“I will also
gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat,
and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scatteredamong the nations and parted my land” - (Joel 3:2).

Armageddon is the end result of the United Nations parting of Israel’s
land. Politicians engaged in trying to placate the Palestinians in Israel by
giving them Israel’s land for a Palestinian nation, should take warning from
this verse. Here God tells us that His reason for gathering the nations in
Israel for Armageddon is because they forced Israel to give up their land.
Israel is God’s land according to the author of the Bible who is the creator of
the universe and the owner of every square foot of dirt on planet earth. “My Land’ settles once and for all any
argument about the land of Israel. Israel is not community property to be
divided up by the United Nations. It is God’s land, and since He holds the
mortgage, He can give the deed to whoever He will. It was deeded (with mineral
rights) to the twelve sons of Jacob (Israel). “Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the
great river, the river Euphrates” - (Gen.15:18). And Abraham’s seed is not
Ishmael, but Jacob. The land is called ‘Israel’ not Ishmael - the Jews will
inhabit it, not the Muslims.

God is the Land - Lord, and Israel is His tenant. The nations of the
world, including Israel, are on a collision course with God at Armageddon
because of the ‘peace process.’ The ‘peace process’ in reality is a ‘piece process’ whereby Israel is being
broken down piece by piece and stripped of its land. God says - “my heritage Israel’ - Israel is God’s
heir and she shall inherit the land from the Nile to the Euphrates. Jerusalem
will be the city of the great King, the Lord Jesus Christ, and He shall rule
from there over the whole earth as emperor - (Rev.11:15). And then Jerusalem
will live up to the meaning of its name - city of peace.

God personally gave to Israel a special parcel of land in the Mideast as
an inheritance and Israel’s land is never to be sold or given away permanently.
“The land shall not be sold for ever:for the land is mine...” -
(Lev.25:23). God takes special care of that land - “A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy
God are always upon it, from the beginning ofthe year even unto the end of the year” - (Du.11:12). No sane
people would give away their land to their enemies for a false peace - “...they have seduced my people, saying,
Peace, and there was no peace...” - (Ezk.13:10). The world’s slicing and
dicing the land of Israel is only temporary.

President Obama has said that he intends to achieve the Mideast peace
deal that has eluded other presidents. On 5-18-09, Obama met with P.M Netanyahu
of Israel and he pushed the P.M. to go along with a two state solution in
Israel. An Israeli state with West Jerusalem as their capital and a Palestinian
state with East Jerusalem as their capital. On 5-21-09, Netanyahu said
“Jerusalem was always ours and will always be ours. It will never again be
partitioned and divided.” Thats what the South wanted during the U.S. Civil War
between the states - two separate nations with the capital of the Confederacy
in Montgomery, Ala. But it didn't work out and war came. And the northern army
sang ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” which was about Armageddon - (Rev.19:15).

Mine eyes have seen the glory of
the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored.

God has given Israel a Promised Land, but the nations of the world will
not admit that fact. Instead of acknowledging Israel’s ownership over the land
God has given her, the nations of the world, in defiance of God, are dividing
the land of Israel. It’s as though they are daring God to judge them - and He
will. All parties involved in this unbiblical giveaway, including Israel for
her consent, will be punished severely at Armageddon. The land is not promised
to Israelestine, it’s promised to Israel. The last land that will be divided
will be Jerusalem, just before Jesus returns.

If Obama succeeds in brokering a comprehensive peace covenant between
Israel and the Arab nations, he’ll become a world hero, and then you’ll know
he’s the Antichrist. And the “abomination
of desolation” that Daniel and Jesus warned us about, will soon come -
(Mt.24:15). “And he will confirm the
covenant with many for one week... And for theoverspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate...” -
(Dan.9:27). Because of all the world’s abominable sins, especially the
abominable sin of sodomy, God will burn up the world at Armageddon - (2
Pet.3:10). We might call it the ‘Obamanation of desolation.’ “Then shall they know that I am the Lord,
when I have laid the land most desolate because of all theirabominations...” - (Ezk.33:29).

The American President-Antichrist will sign the peace covenant along with
the other Mideast leaders, and then it will be ‘confirmed’ or ratified by the
U.S. Congress. This will take place during the 7 years of the Great Tribulation
that leads to the second coming of Christ at Armageddon - (Rev.19:11-21). Then
the Lord Jesus, the true and everlasting Prince of peace, will bring true peace
to the whole world, not Antichrist. And the remnant of Jews will populate
Israel forever from the Nile to the Euphrates. “For unto us a child is born , unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called… The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the
throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with
judgmentand withjustice from henceforth even for ever” -
(Is.9:6,7). God has promised the promised land to Israel for an ‘everlasting’
possession – (Gen.17:8). Soon it will come to pass as He has promised.

While writing this sermon, a
photo was released by the White House showing President Obama talking on the
phone with Israeli P.M. Netanyahu. Obama is shown with his feet up on his desk
showing the soles of his shoes as he
tries to get Israel to give the Palestinians a state along side Israel. It is
written, “Therefore shall ye lay up these
my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your
hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes... For if ye shall
diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love
the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; Then will
the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess
greater nations and mightier than yourselves. (Now notice ‘soles of your
feet’) Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be
yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates,
even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. There shall no man be able to
stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread
of you upon all the land that ye shall treadupon, as he hath said unto you” - (Du.11:18,22-25).

If Israel would obey God’s Word and live godly,
then victory would attend their armies, and God would drive out their enemies,
and put them in possession of the Promised Land. God taught Israel repeatedly
that if they live ungodly, they will not win the wars and possess their
allotted land. Their Promised Land is from the river Euphrates to the
Mediterranean Sea, and from Lebanon south to the Nile river in Egypt. Israel
possessed only a small part of their promised land in the O.T. Sin cut them short of their promised
inheritance. Israel’s land has been shrinking lately because they won’t
obey God’s Word. Just recently they had a ‘World Gay Pride Day’ in Jerusalem,
and they have made sodomy legal in Israel, to their great shame. Only a godly
remnant will inherit the Promised Land when Christ returns at Armageddon and
saves them. Failure to obey (Du.11:18) and putting God’s Word in their hand and
in their mind, will culminate soon in the mark of the Beast in the hand or between
the eyes. If Israel had ‘holy souls,’ they would not have to worry about
Obama’s ‘soles’ - amen. They would not have to worry about being trodden under
foot by the enemy

Are you saved and born again? If not, repent of your sins and believe in
Christ in your heart by faith, and you will receive forgiveness of sins, and be
saved from hell and become a new born again creature in Christ having eternal
life. Born again describes what happens to you when you’re truly saved. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new” -
(2 Cor.5:17). Jesus said “That which is
born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee,Ye
must be born again” - (Jn.3:6,7). Christ is our peace offering - “therefore being justified byfaith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ” - (Rom.5:1).
